I tweeted the Met’s Boris Godunov today. You have to read from the bottom.
Advisory: today’s live tweet of #boris was done on a closed course. Do not attempt in a theater/opera house. You will be lynched.

I usually hate all things Marina in #boris, but this looks like it’s not going to suck at all.

Waiting patiently to screen @MetOpera’s HD broadcast of Boris Godunov. If it cuts out during Saturday’s encore, there will be a riot
